Top BP Official Aboard Oil Rig Might Refuse To Speak at Hearing

"A top BP official aboard the oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in April was expected to refuse to speak at a federal hearing Tuesday.

Robert Kaluza, BP’s “company man,” a representative of the oil company’s interests on the rig, on Monday afternoon was said to be invoking his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself, investigators said, but noted that he could change his mind by the time he is set to testify Tuesday morning.
